About Grande Baie
Grande Baie is a classic Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat dive with a shallow, fish-rich top that drops away in stages offshore. It works well for first-time divers on the plateau and for more experienced divers farther out, with coral growth, plenty of fish, and regular pelagic life making it a flexible Mediterranean option. A local guide helps you choose the right line.
